The power figure the car is rated too is 177kw and 550nm. These figures are measured at the flywheel of the engine ie before the gearbox, drivetrain, wheels etc. When a car is put on a chassis dyno like this, the power is measure at the tyres, there is significant drivetrain loss and that's why even when the car was standard it made 127kw at the wheels, not 177kw. I hope that makes sense.
